A group of women are walking from Brisbane to Canberra to raise awareness about alternative energy and expose dangers of nuclear industry. On 22 March they will stay at Sea Scout Hall and there will be music and guest speakers at the soundshell that arvo/evening. On Tues 23 March they"ll walk to Byron along the beach and local women are invited to join them for part or all of the journey to Canberra. Fresh local food and support would be fabulous: contact Gabi.bohnet(@)gmail.com 66840209.

More evidence of a growing support for National Food Strategy as SA announces its own, see below:

Recent heavy rain has filled the dry riverbeds in Alice Springs. Unfortunately Aboriginal people who had to make the riverbeds their home because of the NT Intervention are now without clothes and belongings as well as without homes and money. If you are able to help move some clothes collected in Byron Bay to Brisbane, or even to Northern Territory  please contact Frankie Lee in Byron 02-66855129 or 0431 602686 (Frankie organised the "Speaking up the Territory Tour" for Barbara Shaw) or Robert and Sylvia Watson in Annerley Brisbane at 07-384 88642. Thank you.

URGENCY MOTION FROM MAJENTA: Norm and I took some bags up to Brisbane on Sunday and dropped them off at Annerley which was not far out of the way and easy to get back onto the highway. These people are in desperate need of these clothes now. We didn't really realize how bad it was for them up there until we spoke with the people at Brisbane.
So I urge anyone who is going to Brisbane to do a good deed and help out. They can get them to the NT, they just need to get them at Brisbane. Franki's shed is full to groaning with bags of clothes, bedding, etc for these people.
Now is a good time to go through the wardrobes and let go of anything you don't use.

ONLINE GROCERY PRICING Woolworths has launched a site listing 5000 of its 30,000 lines.But Choice spokesman Christopher Zinn said the Woolworths site - covered by a disclaimer which asserts customers cannot print, display or store the information on it - showed "the prices (they) want us to know". "What's so secret?" Mr Zinn said. http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/article/2010/03/02/160401_national-news.html (Thanks to GE in Maleny for these 2 links).
